Thank you for the advice and helping me see things from a different perspective, I understand totally now This is a public forum but we still have rules our members must abide by. I understand your intent might not have been to promote or advertise your surgeon but you have to understand how it appears to everyone else. You posted (and re-posted) the same contact and sales info about your surgeon, in multiple forums. This is clearly not allowed according to our posted Forum Rules.

Pelekania 156 Posted December 31, 2012 I just went alone last week and was sleeved by Aceves. I felt comfortable the whole time. I met a fellow sleever in the shuttle from the airport to the hospital' date=' had my "last meal" with them at the hotel, and we were always checking in on each other in our rooms. I never felt alone and was grateful to them for the companionship! I think you will have a similar experience and will definitely run into fellow sleevers while doing your walking in the hospital. You will be fine![/quote'] So were you able to eat a real meal before surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleever10 109 Posted December 31, 2012 Yes! We could go eat whatever we wanted and have no more than 2 drinks. We went to an italian restaurant inside the hotel we stayed at and I ordered a margherita pizza. I must say that I was so tired and nervous that my tummy was in knots and I could barely finish one piece. I took it "to go" and ate a couple more pieces a few hours later. I forced myself to eat something since I had been fasting for the pre-op tests. I gave the rest to the traveling companions of a fellow sleever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nursejackieo 3 Posted December 31, 2012 I travel to Cancun Alone all the time!!! ( for Pleasure) So for my Surgery I traveled to PV alone and I had Dr. Garcia also........as far as traveling alone it really wasn't a problem but if I could make a suggestion......If you go to Obesity Guadalajara Facebook Page that is Dr Garcia's Page and book directly thru them.......There was alot of misinformation that I received from Ready4Change....Booking right thru Dr. Garcia you get info first hand 2 AmandaRaeLeo and nurseghana reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KickRocks 163 Posted January 12, 2013 I too am going alone in Feb. My husband wants to go but it will be difficult for him to get enough time off to accompany me, I just don't want to put it off again. I'm ready to get it over with already! I pray all will be well, I have a friend that went to Dr. Almanza and she went alone. She insists that I should go alone to avoid having to entertain a guest, more time for recovery she says. I'm nervous because I've never been out of the country before and to go alone at that! I too am using Dr. Garcia and r4ac. When is your Surgery? I am looking to book mine soon and trying to find someone to buddy up with who is also going alone. The thought of going alone scares me HAHA 1 PetraLuxor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaserSkinGirl 147 Posted January 13, 2013 I am going alone March 22 to Garcia thru Ready4Achange and I am so excited... Figuring out flights is a pain! (Huge expense to figure into budget for times needed) Does anyone know if MiHospital has WiFi? 1 shawn9x9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Huge expense to figure into budget for times needed) Does anyone know if MiHospital has WiFi? I believe they do. I use Priceline and sign up sp they can alert you when the price drops.
